tradex - tradex & exhibition centre

Nice facilities. Wish parking wasn't $6 each time one parked, as it makes it hard to pop back and forth from hotel for a rest and then back to walk around more at the RV show. Most of us going to the RV show are middle aged or boomers, so sometimes going all day is too hard. If we could pay once a day for parking, that would help. We'd be inclined to come back and shop more at the booths, which would help the vendors. Just an idea. Please consider doing a one day parking pass that can be used in/out throughout the day.

'The parking is unbelievable'. Good parking until you leave ..!.IT IS CASH ONLY .I had to repark go back to the expo use ATM get cash so I could leave the parking .No recept was given .Seems Dodgy to me .Whos pocketing what and is the taxes being paid etc ,,,,?.The same parking services an INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT .not in a long time have I seen no credit or debit cards taken in an Internalional Airport parking area .it would be easy to do a smash and grab robbery .Employees beware .ABBOTSFORD you really need to get with it .....its 2015

went to the rv show today. lots to see. there are some great prices on the big rigs.first time i went to tradex entrance was $4 parking was free. now entrance is $8 and parking is $6. inflation i guess.anyways great location to attend a show.

This is a large facility that is very versitile for numerous different exhibitions. I have been in it for Motorcycle show, craft fair, and a couple other trade shows. It is a good facility for each different one. There is plenty of room for each exhibit to set up and display there products. It is easy access from Hwy #1 and has plenty of parking.

Drove out to Tradex Sunday to see Snowbird RV show. I have not been to the RV show in a few years. Show was good, but there were not as many exhibits as I remember in the past. It used to be free parking and a lot cheaper to enter. Now parking is $6.00 and entrance fee was $8.00. I did not mind driving to Abbotsford from Vancouver when it was cheap but now it is getting a little expensive when you add the cost of gas. Only bright side is that gas is cheaper in Abbotsford relative to Vancouver.

TRADEX is a great venue. We have been there two years in a row for Volleyball tournaments and have always been impressed with the facility. Decent food in the cafeteria and the facility is clean.

Events here seem to be quite expensive, notably the recent car show.Parking wasn't cheap and the admission was crazy high for what they offered inside. Disappointed.

2014 Classic car show was so lacking this year ,i wont waste my $68 next year for the family and then parking to walk through the hundred or so cars in 30 min. Vendors have almost disappeared altogether.The Fathersday carshow in Mission attracts in the area of 1500 cars yearly,and Langley the same or better,then New Westminster,and all free or by donation. Ive seen better turnouts at small venue pubs and auto shops.The organizers dropped the ball this year,but you could see it comming with the few previous years.

We're glad to hear that you enjoy the motorcycle show and that our customer service and coffee are up to par :-) but we are so sorry to hear that our food in the exhibitor's lounge was not enjoyable. What is it that we can improve on?

Sorry to hear that you have had bad food experiences. We are constantly reviewing our menus, so hopefully in the future we can include something more to your liking. I have also passed on your suggestions to our management.

Glad you had a good time at the West Coast Christmas Show at Tradex this year, it's good to hear the show is getting better. Thanks for the great review :-)

Visited the food expo again and found once again lots of high prices for demo foods (that in my opinion should be free or very low priced. ) You pay a fairly stiff cost to get in here to see and sample new products. I object strongly to paying again to get a mouthful or two for new things that people are supposedly promoting. I won't be going next year.

Would be a nice addition to the comfort of working visitors. Just to sit a little more comfortably and relax...

Over the years in Abbotsford I have visited this very large complex near the air port and found well planned exhibits, car shows, motor cycle shows, antiques of all sorts and auctions. Abbotsford has the best location for a tradex and exhibition centre due to easy adequate parking space, prices and beside a air port. The tradex is shown by big signs beside the hwy no. 1 East and has a new exit ramp number 83 Mt. Lehman Rd. The location is well marked on Mt. Lehman Rd. South and straight in to the Tradex building and air port. Parking price is reasonable for these shows and staying at the air port. Many people come from a very large city Vancouver to attend here and I find the location much better especially for security and parking. I have even been in motor cycle shows my self and found the exhibit space to be very large and adequate. The area is safe for every age of person attending with lots of security around. High ceilings, painted cement surface and very clean with wash rooms and eating places that one does not have to go out side for any thing. I remember when the big shows used to be at Vancouver City and one could not find a parking place and was more expensive and buildings were very crowded with exhibits and people attending with long line ups, not now at Abbotsford. Keep up the great work so it stays a pleasant and rewarding centre. Hotsand-7.

We've attended many events here from trade shows to fancy awards nights and they've all been quite good. Plenty of room for any size event as they can section of smaller areas if needed. Lots of parking. The catering company used is also quite good... I believe it's Lori's Catering.
